Although Lu Bu's family was a property in Shouchun, Yuan Shu was still worried that Lu Bu would not obey orders. For the sake of safety, he specially asked Ji Ling to bring three thousand elite troops, and even if Lu Bu took the risk, he could subdue him.

After Ji Ling left Shouchun with three thousand soldiers, he immediately rushed to Licheng day and night.

After walking on the road for three days, Ji Ling sent a horse back to report to him: "Report to General Qi, a soldier was found in front of him, blocking our way?"

After listening to the report from the horse tent, Ji Ling frowned and asked, "Can you see clearly where the soldiers are coming? How many of them are there?"

"Reply to the general," the detective replied quickly, "The young man saw a big flag with the word "Cao". There were about 500 people, except for the generals who led the troops, they were all infantrymen."

When Ji Ling learned that there were only five hundred soldiers and horses blocking the road ahead, he put his heart back in his stomach. As long as the number of people on the other side was not as large as he did, even if the two sides broke down, he could kill the other side so hard that they could fall into pieces. After walking forward for half a stick of incense, he saw the soldiers and horses blocking the road ahead.

Ji Ling urged his horse to come forward and came to a place thirty steps away from the soldiers and horses, and shouted loudly: "Where are you soldiers and horses? Why did you block the general's way?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he rode out of the opponent's troops. On the back was a middle-aged general with a helmet and armor, holding a big sword. He pointed at Ji Ling with his hand and said loudly: "I am Cao Bao, the general under the command of the Mu of Xuzhou. Who are you? How dare you lead troops to invade the territory?"

It turned out that after a few days of marching, Ji Ling and his friends had already entered Xuzhou without realizing it. Cao Bao, who was patrolling a military patrol, learned that a soldier of unknown origin had invaded the territory, immediately sent someone back to Xuzhou to report the news to Tao Qian, and he brought his men to intercept him.

But when he saw clearly that the number of soldiers coming was several times higher than that of himself, Cao Bao couldn't help but feel scared. But since he had already arrived, turning around and leaving would affect his morale. Therefore, he could only bite the bullet and order the soldiers to set up a formation on the official road and prepare to fight.

After Cao Bao plucked up his courage to shout these words, his double trembled slightly. He was very afraid that he would anger the other party. As long as the two sides started a war, the side with few people would definitely suffer a loss.

Fortunately, Ji Ling did not notice Cao Bao's strangeness. When he heard Cao Bao say this, he realized that the troops he led had already entered the territory of Xuzhou without realizing it. It is said that it is a powerful dragon that does not suppress the local snake. Since he has come to other people's territory, it is necessary to say a few good things. So he put the three-pointed two-edged sword on the saddle, bowed to Cao Bao, and said politely: "It turns out that it is General Cao, and he is a general under Yangzhou Mu Yuan Highway. He is ordered to chase a defected army and ask General Cao to go through the situation and let our troops pass."

Cao Bao was originally planning to turn around and escape when he saw that the situation was not good. At this moment, he saw Ji Ling saying softly to him, and his attitude changed immediately. He said sarcastically, "General Ji Ling, this is Xuzhou. You didn't even say hello, so he broke in. Don't retreat quickly, otherwise you won't blame me for being rude."

Ji Ling spoke to Cao Bao humbly, not because he was afraid of him, but because he considered that he had indeed entered the territory of Xuzhou. It was better to have less than more things, and he could not waste time on the road. Who knew that Cao Bao opposite was so ignorant that he had just asked him to retreat. As the smile on his face gradually disappeared, his tone became stern: "Cao Bao, I am polite to guests, not because I am afraid of you, don't be too arrogant." He picked up the three-pointed two-edged knife placed on the saddle, "If not, don't blame me for being polite."

"So what if you're welcome?" Cao Bao said disdainfully: "You still want to kill me if you don't want to?"

"If you kill you, kill you." Ji Ling saw Cao Bao despising him so much, Wuming couldn't help but be angry. He immediately stepped forward and slashed the three-pointed two-edged sword in his hand towards Cao Bao, shouting: "Wu Ming, machete!"

Seeing Ji Ling's weapon slashing towards him, Cao Bao did not dare to be negligent, so he quickly raised his sword with both hands and used the knife rod to build a three-point and two-edged sword. He originally planned to knock Ji Ling's weapon away, and then slashed him over and chopped him off the horse. Ji Ling's weapon slammed on Cao Bao's sword rod, which made Cao Bao's tiger's mouth numb, and the sword was almost shocked to the point of being shaken off.

"No, I didn't expect that this person's martial arts are more powerful than me." Cao Bao secretly complained in his heart, "If you don't deal with it carefully, you may be worried about your life." He hurriedly put away his underestimation and cheered up to fight with Ji Ling. Cao Bao was not Ji Ling's opponent. The two of them had only had seven or eight moves to fight, and Cao Bao was in danger. He couldn't help but feel regretful. If he had known this, he would have let them go, but now it's difficult to get on the verge of the tiger.

When the Yuan army brought by Ji Ling saw that his chief general had already fought with the other party's general, the army Sima immediately urged the troops to suppress them. Facing the Yuan army that was pressing over, Xuzhou soldiers could only step forward to meet the enemy with a fierce look. Many soldiers who heard Cao Bao and Ji Ling talked desperately in their hearts to greet the female relatives of Cao Bao's family. If he hadn't been stubborn, how could the matter be in a situation of war?

However, when his life was at stake, when Xuzhou soldiers cursed the female relatives of Cao Bao's family in their hearts, they still had to bite the bullet and fight against the Yuan army rushing up. Xuzhou soldiers were originally inferior to Yuan army in combat. In addition, they were at a disadvantage in number and had no fighting spirit. After only a moment of confrontation between the two armies, the Xuzhou soldiers showed their defeat.

When Cao Bao and Ji Ling confronted each other, they always paid attention to the movements around them. Seeing that their troops and horses were defeated, they dared not fight, so they turned their horses and ran back. Seeing that Cao Bao had escaped, Ji Ling was willing to let him go easily, and immediately urged the horses to follow him. The main general fled, and the Xuzhou soldiers who were already struggling to survive, and there was no need to continue to fight. How could Yuan Jun give up such a good opportunity and immediately chase after him?

Cao Bao escaped quickly in front, Ji Ling chased him in the back, and the two were only ten feet apart, but this distance could not be shortened. Cao Bao didn't know what the situation of his soldiers were, but he knew very well that once he was caught up by Ji Ling, he would have to die. He could only urge his mount to escape towards Xuzhou City. His idea was very simple. No matter how strong Ji Ling was, would he dare to attack Xuzhou with these thousands?

In this way, the two of them ran for more than ten miles, and suddenly a cannon sound came from the front, and then a soldier appeared on the official road, blocking the road tightly. Seeing the sudden appearance of the soldiers, Cao Bao was shocked at first, and when he saw clearly that it was the banner of the Xuzhou army, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Seeing Cao Bao being chased by a military general and fled in a panic, a general in Xuzhou army fled out in a row and rushed forward to respond. After seeing the person clearly, Cao Bao was even more overjoyed and quickly shouted loudly: "Mi Zi Fang save me."
